Dios' wholly-owned Heberto Gold discovery and several other gold occurrences are hosted on road accessible AU33 property, adjacent to Hydro-Quebec EM-1 hydropower facilities.
Dios is evaluating all its gold projects for further work to enhance its value and potential.
K2 gold-copper-silver property, adjacent south-west of Azimut's Elmer gold discovery property, was sold to Azimut in July, after the quarterly financial period ending June 30, 2025.
Investing activities Quarter ended June 30, 2025During the quarter, Dios incurred $717 for mining rights (claims renewal and acquisitions) compared to $0 for the same period last year.

Heberto Gold Discovery (Au33 property)
Hole 19 did hit 3.65 grams gold per tonne over 13 m (71 m-84 m) within 64 m true thickness interval grading 1.21 g/t gold on HEBERTO.
Hole 19 (3.65g/t Au/13m) is 112 m west of Hole 1 and 50 m north of Hole 6 (2,23g/t Au/7.75 m).
Hole 19 is 50 m south of Hole 1 (2.13g/t Au/22.9m), of Hole 9 (2 g/t Au/22 m) & of Hole10 (1.8 g/t Au/18.45 m).
Gold zones can be followed in strike and at depth. Gold is associated with fine grained pyrite and magnetite in several meters thick potassic altered shear zones.
A deformation zone striking EW-NE was enhanced on the property and should be the focus of future work.
Heberto Gold is located at the contact of a low mag with a higher magnetic area, seeming to extend eastward as wellas different ENE structures. Studies are ongoing on in that sense.

Gold exploration is to be pursued on Au33 property on Heberto Gold east- northeast extent.
Dios' geochemical data returned significant gold-in-till values east of Heberto discovery outcrop, hiding possible gold occurrences. See cluster of golden triangles on map hereunder:
A detailed low altitude magnetic drone survey over 813 line-kilometers with 35 m line spacing is to be carried on in coming weeks, to specifically help define more accurately ENE structures in these areas with more than notable high in till gold values.
At least two sets of gold-bearing structures are defined on the property and the east-north-east striking ones may have remobilized and concentrated gold from the NS-NNW gold bearing structures.

Working capital increased by $72,136, going from $(67,906) on December 31, 2024, to $4,230 on June 30, 2025. The increase in mainly due to exploration costs and administrative expenses incurred during the period and the closing of a private placement.
Cash and cash equivalents, and term deposit amount to $131,582 on June 30, 2025, compared to an amount of $55,965 on December 31, 2024. The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage; thus, it is dependent on obtaining regular financing in order to continue exploration. Despite previous success in acquiring sufficient financing, there is no guarantee of obtaining any future financing.
Exploration Budget for fiscal year 2025: The planned exploration work to be conducted by Dios in 2025 is disclosed in the 2024 Annual Management report. See above section "Exploration work performed during the period".
On July 7, 2025, Azimut acquired 100% interest in 103 claims covering 54.3 sq. km forming the K2 Property (the "K2 claims") in the western part of the Lower Eastmain Archean Greenstone Belt, for a cash payment of C$120,000 and the issuance of 200,000 Common Shares of Azimut. Dios will retain a 2.0% NSR royalty on the K2 claims, subject to a buyback of 1.0% NSR for C$3,000,000. The quarterly financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2025, thus do not yet reflect that transaction.
